To Salvage or Not Salvage jh4na2166wt000169

[NRG]

OH MY GOSH. How is this car not a salvage title?

Should this VIN: jh4na2166wt000169 be part of the "Totalled NSX" in FAQ Reference section?

Ive got stock syncho's that are brand new sitting under my desk if they interest you. They were left over from the JDM short gears if you want them.

The car was probably totalled by ins. company. Owner has option to keep car at a salvaged value,then sell with clean title...I had a Prelude that I did this to years ago, I sold it to co-worker for salvage and he got a great car cheap..I made no profit on deal..It wasn't really that damaged but ins. totalled it anyways....That NSX is totally trashed...should be parts only.

Thanks, I need an entire trans that is ready to swap in.
I have the internals for a rebuild.
You guys have a new trans in the parts dept?

If the damages on the car do not exceed 100% of the value of the car, then the owner can retain and keep a clean title. I'm sure guidelines vary by state. Texas is 100%, Virginia is 80%.

Doesn't look too bad - a little rubbing compound and a good detail job will work wonders.

Awww man... a kaiser silver too - what a shame! That color is just so gorgeous...uh, when the car does not look like it's been in a fight with an M1A1.

You have to give the selling dealer credit for being creative with the ad.

The car has no side windows, yet they advertise: "AC is ice cold" :biggrin:

I mean, yeah, it has a few bumps and bruises, but I was worried about the AC.

It's a California car so this could have been the car "Deiter" practiced on before he did his antics in the Enzo!!!:smile:

There has to be a fair amount of parts value on that car if the drive train is in good shape...No??????

I know the fix, but this question (never asked before) needs to be answered to see how it will be put back into showroom condition:

Zaino or Zymol??? :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
